Dorian was beyond Great!! He went above and beyond in his caring for our fur babies, Mr Wilson (basset hound) and Squeaks our cat. All I can say is Dorian exceeded our expectations on every Level! Rover was actually a "Vacation Saver" since our family member backed out of caring for our pets at the last minute. I will book Dorian again and recommend him and Rover to anyone who needs pet care. Book Dorian, you will be so happy you found him!

About: I have spent all my life growing up with animals- dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. and know what responsibilities go into making sure they are well taken care of. I often pet sit for my parents, and help to manage my senior dog’s medications, make sure our puppy is well played with and ensure they are both fed, loved, and content. I would love the opportunity to help take care of your fur babies! I have just graduated with my doctorate in physical therapy, and am on a break to study for licensure prior to starting work. I have plenty of free time to give your pets love and care anytime :) I am a very active individual, and love taking pets out for walks or playing with toys when they’re full of energy. I’m diligent and responsible in making sure they are fed, taken out, and content. I will match your dogs energy and make sure they feel loved.

Jennifer was awesome! We had a very last minute work schedule conflict and my boyfriend and I both weren’t going to be able to feed our dog at his normal breakfast time. Jennifer was so flexible and awesome and pulled through with a last minute booking for us to give us peace of mind that his normal feeding schedule wouldn’t be impacted by our crazy work schedules. 10/10 service and would book again!

About: I love dogs so much and would love to walk any pups in the Channelside/Water Street/Harbour Island areas! I’m always happy to watch my friends pets and treat them like they’re my own. I can walk dogs on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays! I work Monday - Thursday in St Pete so it’d be harder for me on those days unless its before or after work! I love dogs so much and would be doing this for pure enjoyment! With that being said, I will take care of your pup like they are my own. I am a very cautious walker just because I have a small senior dog and will walk your dog with the same care.

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Oakley. She was reliable, communicative, sent great updates/photos, and clearly cared about him like he was her own. Oak can be high energy and she handled him perfectly. It gave me a ton of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again.

Theresa was amazing! She came 3 times daily to care for our two small dogs and two cats, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable. I was honestly pretty nervous going into this, since we’ve only ever had family in our home to watch our pets. But her calm, reassuring presence immediately put us at ease. She was always on time, communicated clearly, and sent great updates and photos while we were away. We came home to happy, healthy pets, which says it all. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!

I was honestly nervous because I had never used Rover before, but I had such a wonderful experience with Bella. She took such special care of my little Emma, my shy Maltipoo, and was incredibly patient and kind with her. What really meant a lot to me was that she took the time to meet Emma before the actual walk day so Emma could feel comfortable and safe with the person handling her. That extra effort made all the difference. I would absolutely recommend Bella to anyone, and I think Rover is a great service for pet owners looking for caring, trustworthy help. 🤍
